Cleopatra To Christ: Jesus Was The Great Grandson To Cleopatra

by Ralph Ellis

A Reconstruction of Jesus' roots and family history. The Bible says that the infant Jesus was visited by the Magi of the East, and that he was educated in Egypt. Seeming to be of royal blood, he was crowned King of the Jews. The inference from these sparse facts is that Jesus was probably of both Egyptian and Persian royal blood, but that he was exiled to Judaea in about 4 AD. In fact, there was a royal family in the early first century AD that fits all the requirements to produce this scion, though only known about for hundreds of years.

Wow, I'm going to read all this author's books. He is making sense of everything that I couldn't figure out around Christianity. I always thought Paul was a total creep and misogynist, and Christianity awfully mean and full of harsh rules -- although the character of Jesus as portrayed in the Bible was one a person could emulate, not that corporate Christianity has much to do with the behavior of Jesus. Fascinating. Not for the dedicated believing Christian, though!

Could this be true, possibly. What ruined this book for me was all the references to this book or that book. Add in all the hypothetical maybes and the book lost the main idea. I think if the book had been a straightforward story of who was who, it would have been more interesting and easier to follow.

Fascinating

You don't have to agree, just very interesting history. Makes a good point that people mess up religion, change it to serve themselves.

Recommend this one too. Very good. Ralph has pieced together the bloodline from Cleopatra's daughter that lived after she died and married as a bride gifted to Persian royalty by Augustus Ceasar. Then from there Cleopatra's great grandchildren. Highly recommended.

I'm pretty open minded, what is written in this book is possible, but I got a bit confused due to the mass amounts of possibles and hypotheticals used in the book as well as getting the possible family lines confused.
